The IPL technical committee has approved replacements of these three players for the 2014 season of the cash-rich event.

“Dwayne Bravo [Chennai Super Kings], Nic Maddinson [Royal Challengers Bangalore] and Nathan Coulter-Nile [Delhi Daredevils] have all suffered injuries which mean that they will play no further part in the season,” the IPL said in a statement.

“In accordance with the IPL Player Regulations, the three franchises may take a replacement player from the list of 798 players who registered for the 2014 IPL Player Auction but were not taken in the auction,” it added.

Bravo is out with a shoulder problem, Coulter-Nile is suffering from a hamstring problem and Maddinson is also injured.
